Ryze vs Renekton

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze must manage a scaling-focused lane against Renekton's early aggression by safely farming and controlling the wave.
Avoid giving Renekton free early trades by respecting his fury and empowered (W) stun threat to prevent snowballing.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to mark and spread through minions, then follow with (Q) for poke, holding (W) to root and punish Renekton's all-in attempts.
Trade only when Renekton has low fury or has used his second (E) dash, limiting his escape and burst potential.
Avoid long trades without sufficient mana to maintain spell rotations and prevent Renekton from capitalizing on extended fights.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) ready, as he can stun and burst quickly.
Respect Renekton's double (E) dash availability which allows him to engage and disengage safely.
Exercise caution after Renekton reaches level 6 with (R) active, as he can convert short trades into all-ins.

Early game

Prioritize safe farming and avoid extended trades before level 6 when Renekton's early burst is strongest.
Use controlled (E) and (Q) poke to chip Renekton only when he has low fury or after he uses both (E) dashes.
Maintain spacing to avoid getting stunned by empowered (W) and punish when his key cooldowns are down.

Power spikes

After completing the first mana/AP item, pressure Renekton more confidently with sustained (E) and (Q) rotations while tracking his cooldowns.
At level 6, use (R) for map plays or defensive resets, but avoid forcing fights without vision or cooldown advantage.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo and level 6 (R) for increased burst and durability; avoid trades when his empowered (W) and (R) are available.

Win conditions

Outscale Renekton by safely farming and using (E) and (Q) rotations to chip him down when his key cooldowns are down.
Use waveclear to control lane tempo and create opportunities for side lane pressure or map movement with (R).
Punish Renekton's all-in windows by holding (W) root for counter-engage and capitalize on his cooldowns and fury management mistakes.
